Reese Witherspoon Covers Marie Claire’s October 2011 Issue

Reese Witherspoon graces the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s October 2011 issue. Inside, she discusses confidence and her divorce.

On confidence: “I always had a lot of confidence when I was younger, and then I think I got a little nervous in my 20s,” she says. “But now I feel better. Now I’m in my 30s, totally better. A little more confident again. Not as scared.”

On her divorce: “I was hard on myself when I got divorced. And until I got remarried, I don’t think I realized how stressed I was,” she says, referring to her marriage this past March to Hollywood talent agent Jim Toth. “I feel so much relief. I don’t think I recognized how anxious I was about being a single parent. It was really, really stressful.”
